The Hyperion Data Relationship Management, Fusion Edition Release 11.1.1 has now been released to the public, along with all the other Hyperion apps. One first glance, the name has gone even longer and the release version has gone up a bit more than a notch. Personally, I think it’s kind of funny that:

1. they skipped on version 10. Just like Hyperion skipped on System 8??? Maybe even numbers are not marketing friendly;
2. they release it under a dot release 11.1.1 as oppose to 11.0. Historically, some customers know not to touch a product when it’s on a “.0″ dot zero release, and wait for a later release. Maybe that’s why some of us can be really confused thinking the product is actually been patched a few times already; or stupid enough to think there were a “.0″ dot zero release. Of course I heard that Oracle wants to line up this release with the rest of the “11″ products but I am skeptical. OK…now here’s a run down…

on how you can access the newest and greatest line up of the OBIEE+ platform. I’ll try to play with it in the next few weeks but for all you folks ready to jump in and grab the latest toy to play, you can go to the usual place to download.

1. Go to http://edelivery.oracle.com

2. Select on the drop down box. Don’t go for the usual ‘Hyperion Performance Management and BI’ because that’s only going to give you the release up to v9.3.1. Instead select ‘Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System’. And then select the platform. At this stage you’ll only see the Windows platform and the others will be added in the later quarter.

OK, now you can download to your hearts content. That’s because the entire suite is a huge download. The individual components were also available. I’d suggest you start with the first link to review all the new features and figure out if it’s worth upgrading now or later.

For those who are not yet ready to download it all as yet, you can still read about it on the online documentation site:
